G
Cakes was created when Ginger decided to pursue her interest in cake
decorating. She began baking and decorating sheet cakes in her mom's
kitchen over twenty years ago, but in 2006, while making a cake for her
grandmother's birthday, her interest in cake decorating
peaked. After friends started asking Ginger to make cakes for their
celebrations, she decided to pursue this interest in cake decorating a bit
further, and soon G Cakes was formed! Hoping to one day open a
restaurant with her husband, in the meantime Ginger is exploring the
opportunities with G Cakes. When Ginger isn't decorating cakes, she
is working at Dallas County
Utility & Reclamation District as an accounting clerk, participating in
the Sugar Wonders Cake
Club, and pursuing her Associate in Applied Sciences degree in
Bakery/Pastry at El
Centro College. She has aced every class so far and can now make
various yummy pastries, use fondant, gumpaste, and marzipan on cakes, and is
nationally certified as a food protection manager.

In September 2007 Ginger entered the Oklahoma State Sugar
Art Show held at the Tulsa State Fair in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She
entered a Baylor UniversityŽ bear (in honor of her alma mater) and a Dallas
Stars hockey puck in the Adult Beginner Novelty Cakes category. The
bear won 3rd place
in this category! In February 2008, Ginger entered the Capital
Confectioners' "That Takes the Cake!" Sugar Art and Cake Show
held in Austin, Texas. This time she entered the Culinary Student
division, since she was now a culinary student! A couple of weeks
prior to the competition, Ginger was asked to make a baby shower cake that
resembled the invitation to this shower. Since she thought that cake
turned out cute, she reprinted the invitation and made the cake again for the
Austin show. This time she won 1st place in the Special
Techniques category!! Thanks to Jen for the cute idea! In
August 2008 she entered a tasting contest held at Lavon Drive
Baptist Church and won 1st place in the Chocolate
Cakes category for her Double Chocolate Layer Cake entry (thanks to her
grandmother for bringing this cake to her attention!) and 3rd place in the Cakes Made
with Fruit and/or Nuts category for her Pear and Walnut Cake entry. In
February 2009 she again entered the 2009 Capital Confectioners' "That
Takes the Cake!" Sugar Art and Cake Show in the Culinary Student division,
and won 2nd place
for her Buttercream Only entry and 3rd place in the Tasting
Contest for her Jazzed-Up Cake Mix "Chocolate Amaretto
Cake." Thanks to Steven & Jessica for bringing this cake to
my attention! To see a picture of these cakes, please visit the Gallery page.
